Winery visits without pressure to buy. - Jan was a very passionate wine lover. So interesting to listen to. Took us to 4 lovely wineries and a gin tasting. The platter at Little Wonder was amazing. Great value, safe driver and seemed very proud of his GP wife and the karate he teaches. Thank you Yan. A great service to the industry, Valerie from WA.
